        Sociologists believe that mutual relationships among people and their trends are effective on the formation and continuity of the social life of a society from the beginning of the formation of any social system. These mutual relationships and their quality, which today are studied under the title “social capital,” have attracted extensively the attentions of the knowledgeable in different fields of political, social, economic, and cultural. Despite the fact that social capital is a modern subject in the area of humanities and social sciences, but it seems that by studying exhaustively jurisprudential rules in Imamieh jurisprudence and Islamic teachings in general, one can recognize the remarkable aspects of social capital status in them. The present research aimed at the same objective and, through adopting descriptive-analytical methods, tried to recognize and reflect on the status of social capital subject in Imamieh jurisprudence and Islamic teachings. The research findings showed that jurisprudential rules and teachings such as prohibition of detriment, distress and constriction, prohibited contributions to sin, prohibition of usury, order for interest-free loans are of the most important manifestations of Islamic legislator's attention to the subject of social capital and the necessity of its protection.
